About
A French technical studio combining agility with high-level expertise.
The orchestrated studio
A single point of contact
Our CEO, an engineer with over 25 years of experience, is your permanent point of contact. He understands your challenges, designs the architecture, and leads the delivery.
A collective of specialists
A network of independent professionals — developers, product designers, designers — each an expert in their field, proven across numerous projects.
Adaptability
Freelancer flexibility, larger organization delivery capacity. We scale up according to the nature of your project.
Our value proposition
Rare technical breadth
From low-level code to mobile apps, from embedded to distributed cloud, from 3D interfaces to algorithmic trading. An exceptionally broad technical spectrum.
Business understanding
Every project starts with listening. We seek to understand your business, your constraints, your goals — to be a proactive partner, not just an executor.
Demanding environments
Airbus Helicopters, ArcelorMittal, CNRS. We are accustomed to projects where confidentiality and rigor are not optional.
Honesty and commitment
We only promise what we know we can deliver. We say no to projects outside our expertise. We raise flags early if an issue is emerging.
Collaboration models
Fixed price
Defined scope and budget, suited for well-specified projects.
Time & materials
Billed by time spent, suited for flexible and evolving needs.
Partnership
Long-term commitment, potentially with equity participation.
Our project approach
Scoping
Before any commitment, we take the time to understand your needs. Workshops, interviews, analysis of the existing landscape. Detailed technical and commercial proposal.
Iterative development
Iterative approach to regularly validate progress, adjust if needed, and involve you in decisions.
Transparent communication
Regular check-ins, early warnings in case of difficulty, clear documentation. You always know where your project stands.
Delivery & support
Delivery is not an end in itself. Transition, team training if needed, and availability for what comes next.
What we don't do
To guarantee our level of quality, we've made clear choices.
Showcase websites & WordPress
We are not a web agency. Many providers excel in this area — it's simply not ours.
Standalone web frontend
We don't develop standalone web frontends without the associated backend. However, we can develop standalone backends or full-stack solutions.
Third-party software maintenance
We don't maintain software we didn't develop. Exception: as part of a larger project.
The founders
Arnaud Dussart
CEO & Co-founder
Former research engineer at a CNRS artificial intelligence lab (CRIL, UMR 8188). He brings a dual perspective to every project: academic rigor and industrial pragmatism.
With over 25 years of experience on high-level industrial and research projects, he has developed strong AI/ML expertise rooted in research, and a network in the world of computer science and scientific research.
Christophe Ribeiro
Co-founder
Former research engineer at INRIA, Christophe has a triple expertise: academic computer science, full-stack development with a front-end focus, and product design / UX.
With over 15 years of experience — notably at Atos/Worldline and Decathlon — he brings product sensitivity and user experience excellence that complement Arnaud's technical expertise.
Our vision
Today
An agile technical studio thriving on high-value custom engagements. Technically stimulating subjects, clients who trust us.
Tomorrow
Progressive evolution toward developing our own products, born from field observations and partnerships with entrepreneurs. Both activities are complementary.
CIR Accreditation
THE LOOP is in the process of obtaining CIR accreditation (French R&D Tax Credit). Once obtained, our French clients will benefit from a 30% tax credit on the R&D services they commission from us.
